They both look good to me, Mike. Very crisp.
Don't know whether it's something you care to explore in future, but the cool patterning stuff could lead to really pushing the quality of patterns strategically throughout (albeit large playing off small)-- not where all the patterns are weighted equally, but it's more a matter of theme and the character of the piece. Certainly not necessary to create compositions with large and small design elements this way, but it's a thought that occurred to me because the pattern details are so cool in your piece.
Anyway, love your technique. Very fresh feeling and orderly.
